Hi Carrie! When I was pg with my daughter I had brown spotting every couple of days until I was 16 wks. It really freaked me out but just like you I had good ultrasounds and the baby's heartbeat was strong. I finally stopped spotting at 16wks and went on to have a healthy beatiful baby girl. I'm sure you and the baby will be fine. Good Luck to you and keep me posted on how things are going.

Hi Julie, yes I had that too. Truly, if its not a__sociated to bad cramping, and its only when you wipe, there probably isn't anything to worry about. Have you been able to hear your baby's heartbeat yet?

i am six weeks pregnant and i have been having brown spotting...more like staining, as it's constant but never much of it at all, for the past three days. I wouldn't be so worried about it, except sometimes there are little brown flakes in it....i am so scared this is tissue, which would mean i am definitely starting to miscarriage, wouldn't it? Anyone else have any tiny pieces in their spotting? I talked to the nurse and she said not to worry about it, just to rest and drink plenty of fluids, but of course i am extremely worried about it!

Hope this sets your mind at ease.... I spotted all through my first trimester. Sometimes it was light and brown, and a couple of times, bright red and moderately heavy. Once it was similar to the first or second day of a period. Needless to say, I spent three months holding my breath every time I went to the bathroom, and was constantly freaking out and worried about the worst. I checked this forum about 10 times a day to see if anyone else had similar experiences and had gone on to deliver a healthy baby. Well, my pregnancy continued into the second and third trimesters with barely any complications and last month I had a healthy baby girl. Hope this puts your mind at ease somewhat. Good luck and good health. -L

Anybody worrying about bleeding and spotting have a look at www.babycenter.com there is a forum on there just about bleeding in pregnancy there is over 2000 posts just on this subject., might put your mind at rest when you read about all the successful pregnancys with bleeding,spotting problems.

I had the same problems when I was in my first trimester...I am now 34 weeks. I spotted alot, from brown to bright red. Alot of the times it is just your uterus stretching and it causes you to spot, and it could be left over blood from a previous period just working its way out. Alot of the times there is nothing to worry about, but if you do experience cramping, a gush of RED blood, go to the dr. ASAP, there could be more underlying problems that need to be solved. Best of luck to all of you, and try not to stress too much, because you have so much to look forward to.

Interesting....hmm...I hear about this quite often....and ever person I heard it from...had a girl....Maybe it has to do with extra estrogen.....I'm not kidding! Every one I heard about that had this prob...had a girl...mommy356 do you know what you are having?

I have been experiencing the same thing for almost 2 weeks now. I am currently 12 wks pregnant. I have had 2 ultra sounds which have reflected the heart rate at 167 both times and baby is fine. Placent in place perfectly. Dr.'s don't know why but my cervix is open about the size of a pinky fingertip. They don't seem alarmed, I'm trying to stay calm as well. Will write again if I find out anymore of this mystery!
